14 Professor William Stirling on Animated Motion. 



and woman in the room that night. He thought perhaps the 

 best compHment he could pay to his old teacher— for he had 

 the honour to have been a pupil of his many years ago — would 

 be in a single sentence to ask them all to join with him in that 

 motion, and pass a hearty vote of thanks to one of the most 

 remarkable lecturers any of them had ever heard or possibly 

 should ever hear. 



Mr. S. T. Mercier, J. P., seconded the motion, which was 

 heartily passed. 



Professor Stirling, in acknowledging the compliment, said 

 that little did he think years ago, when Professor Symmers was 

 his class assistant in Aberdeen, that he would meet him in Belfast, 

 and have the pleasure of hearing him move a vote of thanks to 

 one who was delighted to call him pupil. 



This concluded the proceedings.
